Homebrew and QRP Ham Radio with Jeff VE3CW

Jeff VE3CW has wide-ranging interests in amateur radio, including contesting, homebrewing, QRP, and portable operations. In this episode, we dive into some of his current ham radio projects, and Jeff shares encouragement and tips for hams who are new to homebrewing and portable operating.

Join us as we explore how you can get involved in portable radio, QRP, and more in this episode of the All Portable Discussion Zone (AP/DZ). Every aspect of portable operations is covered in this biweekly podcast, from news and gear to achievements, the workbench, contests, awards, and beyond.

DIY Audio Volume Control Board: Easy Setup! #shorts

This candy and the stuff on the breadboard are pre-wired on this board. Audio trim pots control the volume level and provide isolation. These little white headers are the audio trim pots.

🚀 Turn your old radios into digital-mode powerhouses! In this video, I show you the TOADs DI board and the new DI6 daughter board — a plug-and-play sound card interface that connects your radio to your computer over USB-C.

With just one board, you can run:
• Winlink 📡
• APRS 🚗
• FT8 🌐
• ANY digital mode you want

No more struggling with cables, custom wiring, or expensive interfaces — the TOADs DI6 makes it simple. (Of course if you like that kinda thing, the TOADs DI is for you!)

📌 In this video, I’ll show you:
• What the DI6 is and how it works
• How to connect it to your radio & PC
• Live demo of digital modes in action
• Why it might be the easiest way to bring your rig into the modern digital world
